Project description
Web Site Change Detection, Monitoring and Notification.
Live your data-life pro-actively, track website content changes and receive notifications via Discord, Email, Slack, Telegram and 70+ more
Target specific parts of the webpage using the Visual Selector tool.
Available when connected to a playwright content fetcher (included as part of our subscription service)
Easily see what changed, examine by word, line, or individual character.
Perform interactive browser steps
Fill in text boxes, click buttons and more, setup your changedetection scenario.
Using the Browser Steps configuration, add basic steps before performing change detection, such as logging into websites, adding a product to a cart, accept cookie logins, entering dates and refining searches.
After Browser Steps have been run, then visit the Visual Selector tab to refine the content you're interested in. Requires Playwright to be enabled.
